...since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act...except that SCOTUS didn't strike down the "Defense of Marriage Act - it struck down only one part of the act, saying that even though states decided to prevent same-sex marriage their citizens who wanted such marriages still were entitled to federal benefits - it will be interesting to see how the Supremes handle those cases still ahead in which judges struck down state bans on SSM based on the presumed federal prohibition when in fact that supposed prohibition actually left the decision up to the states......

Yeah I never figured out how in light of the SCOTUS decision that states COULDN'T ban gay marriage, under the 10th amendment.

And the rulings recently hinge on the 14th. About "equal protection".

Well, the Constitution doesn't say anything about gays anywhere, or smokers, or pedophiles.

Doesn't mean EVERYBODY is treated "equally" under the law.

But apparently gays are somehow "special".

There is literally NO defense when the polygamists come calling.

Or say brothers getting married, or parents and children.

If "love" is the ONLY requirement for marriage, who CAN'T get married.
